About Tonia and her training

My name is Tonia Briones. At 19 I was offered training as a kinesiologist in Brussels. During this period I was attending university to take a double degree in Japanese and English, but decided to let go of my career as an interpreter and to pursue instead my interest in the complementary health field.

At 21 I opened my first clinic in Lyon (France) while I undertook further training in a variety of different disciplines all over the world including Belgium, USA, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, England and Ireland.

My travels and training occurred from a thirst for a broader understanding and to try and seek answers to my own lack of satisfaction within anyone particular training, I needed to see the bigger picture and gain a greater knowledge and depth from each training.

All this has lead me to see the body in such holistic way and to try to meet the needs of each client with a greater awareness.I come from a lineage of health practitioners from both my maternal and paternal side. On my paternal side my father is a trained physiotherapist, masseur and osteopath but he also inherited through his lineage of Araucanos (Chilean indigenous Indians) a natural healing ability through his great grandmother who was a priestess and shaman of her tribe. Each following generation has received a unique healing ability such has: bee healing, plant healing, hands on healing and then to me. On my maternal side my mother also trained as a physiotherapist, masseur and Osteopath but came from a background that valued the medical side of health. Among her family were doctors, heart and brain surgeons, psychiatrists, nurses and care assistants. This influence has allowed me to value both classical and complimentary health traditions ; valuing the scientific as well as the intangible aspects to one’s health.
